Save with Stories

We make sure we can be there to help when children need us most. We have appeals running in Yemen, Syria and for the recent cyclones in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi are set up to provide support immediately through the money raised for our emergency fund. You can read more about our emergency fund here. Whether children are at risk due to conflict or natural disasters, we make sure we’re there providing all we can to ease their suffering and help them to recover. Take a look at the work we did with donations for our East Africa food crisis appeal, which recently ended. 

In 2018, the Save the Children movement operated in 118 countries around the world, providing unique care and attention to each child we encounter based on their specific needs. Whether that is providing high calorie peanut paste to help children recover from malnutrition, creating Safe Spaces for children impacted by war to visit and express themselves, or working to reunite children like Rizky who have been separated from their families, we do all we can to support them.

We are hugely proud of the work we have done in the UK, but also recognise we have a long way to go. We work in homes, nurseries, schools and communities to narrow the gap between children living in poverty and their better off classmates.
